When you encounter people who persistently are unemployed, or have difficulties getting ahead in their jobs, most of these people too will have problems with sharing. In fact, wherever you go in the world and whomever you meet, as a general rule the people who do the best in their careers and lives are good at sharing.

A resume is a document which markets your credentials and showcases your skills. It tells prospective employers what you have done and what you are capable of. Given this tremendous responsibility which the resume holds, it must be written with great care and attention.
